Top Lobbyist Resigns From Cancer Charity

A top executive at Susan G. Komen for the Cure resigned Tuesday, saying she disagreed with the charity's decision to backtrack from severing ties with Planned Parenthood.

Karen Handel, Komen's senior vice president of public policy, drew the ire of critics after the charity initially moved to prevent its local affiliates from making grants to Planned Parenthood clinics for breast-screening programs.
